1) tint2conf (a theme switcher) is my priority
   the goal is to have an easier way to switch from one config file to another.

2) panel autohide would be good

I would like to have (at least with a config option or a command line argument) 
real
transparency. And with it the possiblity to put tint2 to the bottom/normal/top 
layer.
I would implement it, if you agree on going that way.

I'm agree for real transparency if we can keep fake transparency efficient.

My wish list:
1) Autohide
2) Real transparency
3) Individual border settings. This would allow tab-looking tasks with a 
transparent 
and borderless taskbar background, for example:

|        |   |        |              |         |
| Task 1 |   | Task 2 |              |  Clock  |
\--------/   \--------/              \---------/

@ proyectogennera
on the third option (border setting), I think it's better to allowed gradian 
setting
on border and background. It will allow tab-looking and have wider capability.

That sounds interesting. I'm thinking possibilities: from transparent to solid 
color, from one color to another, top to bottom, left to right... Only problem 
I can 
think of is the font: Would that have a gradient too (for example in a 
different 
direction)?

No gradian for the font. 
The idea (and the easy way to implement it) is to improve the description of
background/border already used in config file.

we can start with linear gradian, one direction and a list of color/alpha.
Cairo already support gradian. We just need an easy way to bring this to the 
user
through config file ...

more different background possibilities, i.e.
minimized/active/normal/shaded/urgent_blinking/...
For programming this, it would be best, to save all defined backgrounds in a 
global
array, and every task points to the background id it wants to use (currently 
every
task has a copy of the background)

config option that omnipresent windows should be visible in all taskbars when 
using
MULTI_DESKTOP.
Actually I think the default should be that omnipresent windows are visible in 
all
taskbars, and there should be a config option to switch that off. Otherwise the 
user
is only confused why omnipresent windows are not visible in all taskbars, but 
only
the active one. If the user decides actively to change this in the config file 
he
knows why it is only visible on the current taskbar...

it would be nice to click on clock and have calendar view,and maybe seting 
other time 
zone...

clicking on clock to get a calender is already possible. Set 
"clock_lclick_command =
/path/to/your/calendar/program"
and you will get a calendar...
